Will it stop my laptop from overheating?

It helps. The open frame and forward tilt let air move under the machine, which aids passive cooling. It has no fan, so it will not cool a laptop the way an active cooler does.

Does it fit a 17-inch laptop?

No. It is made for laptops from 10 to 15.6 inches. Larger machines will overhang the frame and may not sit securely.

Can I set the angle and leave it?

The tilt adjusts freely between about 2.1 and 6.1 inches of lift, but there is no lock. A heavy laptop can shift the angle while you type.

Is it good for typing on the laptop keyboard?

It is better for use with an external keyboard. Raising and tilting the laptop makes the built-in keyboard slope, which many people find awkward to type on for long sessions.

What comes in the box?

The stand and a durable sleeve bag for carrying it. A custom logo can be added on bulk orders.

Is it stable on a bed or sofa?

The silicone pads grip firm, flat surfaces well. Soft or uneven surfaces like a duvet give the base little to hold, so it works best on a table or desk.
